Flip flops A Must this Summer

Summer is the best time to enjoy the cool water of the beach and frolic in the seashore. To refresh ourselves on the summer heat, a dip in a pool or sea is a big relief. As we pack our beach bags there are certain things that we must not forget to bring.
For the basics of course, a lotion with SPF will keep our skin healthy and far from being burnt by the summer heat. Bring along your best sunglasses to protect your eyes from the scorch of the sunlight especially in midday. The most flattering and comfortable swimsuit for the ladies and swimming trunks or board shorts for the gentlemen will make you enjoy the cool waters even more.
For the footwear, it is best that you coordinate your swimming attire with the best flip flops. Flip flops has become a vital part of your swimming attire. You can not just go to the pool or the beach bare footed, I am pretty sure you would not want your dainty feet to have blisters.
Flip flops vs sandals; the best choice is still to wear flip flops because not all sandals are suitable to wear near the waters. But flip flops can be worn even in the waters. You do not need to worry about it getting all drenched and wet; you are assured that even after you are done enjoying your swimming, you can still rely on your trendy flip flops.
Double check your list of things to bring and start packing and head on to your next summer destination. Another must bring is your camera, to give you remembrance of the summer adventure that you are about to experience. Surely you can enjoy your vacation if you plan things ahead it will avoid inconvenience for you.

Scenarios of Love

Scene 1: She has encountered a lot of people asking her Why? Why is it that despite the lies, heartaches and disappointments he did to her before, she easily found it in her heart to forgive him. Her reply is never changing..Because she loves him.She loves him without conditions and restrictions. If loving would cause pain, its natural.As the old saying goes, love is not just a bed of roses.It can be a bed of roses but it is not all soft and smooth petals..stems with thorns are part of it.
Scene 2: He also had experienced the same question, why her? His answer is always consistent because love is not love without her. Her past no longer matters to him. He accepted her including her kids; he knows its a package deal. Love one and get two for free. With his unconditional love, he gave her a family she always dream of.
Scene 3: They were together for more than three decades as husband and wife. They were boyfriend and girlfriend for nine years before they got married. 40 years of their lives were spent together. But in the blink of an eye, death took its toll. She was devastated and her whole world tore apart. She wished that God would take her as well. Reasons are still not clear on why things like this should happen. But her love for him is still true. And she awaits until they see each other again to continue their endless love.
Scene 4: Tragic accident almost took his life. He was rushed to the hospital after being mugged by unknown men. She broke down when she learned that there was a clot on his brain and needs to undergo surgery to have his life. She prayed so hard but did not ask God why it happened. She made a bargain. Its okay for her not to bear a child as long as he will be safe. He is doing great right now but no child is born out of her womb yet. Maybe just maybe, God will soon give them the child they are praying so hard for. In God’s time.
There are a lot of stories one can share about love. It is not easy to understand. However, it doesn’t take a genius to know that Love is what they feel. Love can make you cry, it can make you sigh. It will make you laugh yet it can break your heart. There are no right or wrong when it comes to Love. It happens only when morality and traditions has to step-in. It is a wonderful feeling to some. But can be dreadful to others.
But Love is Love no matter how we define it. It doesn’t need an exact definition. It just needs to be shared.
Happy Valentine's Day to all!

24-hour work

Being a fulltime mother is a tough job, what more to a working mom and hands-on mother like me. unlike the usual 8-hour job with days off, this job is 24 hours and no days off. You don't need a degree to get this job. In my case, I have 3 sons. and of course, they are of different ages. so it means, they have different needs. for

my eldest son, an 8-yr old boy, he easily gets bored with everything. he even told me that he wants to work and to try showbusiness. so that i don't need to work anymore. and he doesnt want to play with his kid brothers because for him they are a bunch of babies. so i have to think of things that will not only stimulate his mind but his body as well, specially this summer. good thing there are summer camps, and i will definitely look for one that will interest him.

my middle child an incoming grader, is now enrolled to summer classes that will enhance his math and reading skills. huh, now talk about being hands-on, can't even assist my son with his lessons. but aside from these classes, he also wants to have a voice lesson. how i wish money are just like trash which can be picked up anywhere.
so i have to explain things to him and make him understand that, we need to prioritize things which are really important.

my youngest, a one-yr old toddler, is hyper-active. i need to be on my toes all the time. because he can easily climb the stairs. now talk about a taurine-rich kid. you cant spank or scold this kid, because he knows how to win your heart. once he sees you looking angry, he will come near you and say "sorry na ha". with that innocent smile and look, it will definitely melt your heart away.

working in the office wont give me the greatest satisfaction that i have whenever i see my kids asleep. how i wish i can just stop the time so that they will remain kids forever. and i will be able to protect them all the time. but in reality, its not possible, someday, these kids will look for friends and things that will interest them. i can only guide them, but i cant make decisions for them.

nah, why do i need to worry about that right now. that is still very far from now. what i will do is to spend time with them and cherish every moment that i have with my sons. after all, they will always be my babies.my balong.my saputi.and my bachikchik..

Moving Up

March 24, 2008 at 6 o'clock in the morning, I just finished preparin the clothes my eldest son will wear for his Recognition Day. He gave me a big surprise. He was recognised as the top student of his class. I felt so excited, and wanted to cry. But I have to remain composed althroughout the ceremony. It was my partner for the past three years who went with my son on the stage to put his Gold Medal. I can't do it myself. I gave my partner the honor to do it for me. Because I think he deserves to do that, he's been his "dad" for a couple of years now..
March 25, 2008 exactly 3 o'clock in the afternoon, my middle child proudly marched on the aisle for his moving up ceremony. He lead the Invocation, he stood at the center stage, uttering each word with feelings. He also got an award, Best in Language and Best in Science. I was the one who went to the stage with him as he receives the recognition. On the later part of the ceremony, the students paid tribute to their parents by singing "Thank You" and giving a stemmed-rose to their moms. This time I had to let the tears fall.
In my mind, the song was dedicated to my kids. They taught me how to love and showed me what the world means. In these ceremonies, it was not only my kids who did the moving up. I also experienced moving up and moving on. Finally, I was able to let my kids finish this school year. After two years of living a life without direction. I came back to my senses and realised that I owe everything to my children. And I will do everything not to let the same mistake happen again.
